abqmarko Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Hey I like Hangartner, much better than the centers we've had recently, but did anyone notice (especially in the 4th quarter) that almost half of his shotgun snaps literally skidded off the turf. How Edwards managed to pick them all up without a turnover is in and of itself impressive. To watch him lose at least one solid second trying to find a ball on the ground practically nullified any attempt at a pass completion. Comments?
kota Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 It seemed like Geoff had no idea that Trent was in shotgun.
Beerball Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 It began in the first half and got worse as the day went on. Wonder of someone was clubbing him on the back of the head after every snap.
tjprime Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 One thing to keep in mind, Hangartner tweaked his back last week and was playing hurt which likely didn't help. Do we even have a back-up C?

DrDawkinstein Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 it was pretty obvious that by the 4th quarter, Hangartner was doing his best to play through a back injury.
C.Biscuit97 Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 It was jsut strange and I've never seen anything like it. He has been playing really well but that was terrible at the end. He gets a pass for this game but that can't happen again.
Dan Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 So if your Center is hurt and cannot snap the ball back in shotgun formation, why not tell Trent to get under center for the snap? Shouldn't the coaches at some point in time look at how their players are playing on the field and make some adjustment to try and improve that play?

I agree with your assesment, after watching the first 5 balls skid across the turf the coaches should have considered using him under center. Hangartner was mauled by rookie Sedrick Ellis on several plays in conjunction with skipping the ball to Edwards leads me to believe his back may be injured-lets hope not. If Hang goes out for a few games does A) Eric Wood get moved to center using Kirk Chambers at Guard or B)McKiney at center keeping Wood at guard? Again I hope this is all nothing but I havent seen consistently poor snaps like that in ages.

stuckincincy Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 it was pretty obvious that by the 4th quarter, Hangartner was doing his best to play through a back injury. So...ditch the constant shotguns and move under center and watch the QB get killed?

You can't fix stupid.
Dan Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 So...ditch the constant shotguns and move under center and watch the QB get killed? Or sit him and start someone that's healthy enough to play. I had visions of McGee getting torched by Ginn last year. Of course that's ok because McGee was injured and really shouldn't have been playing. If they've got no replacement at Center, then just punt the friggin ball every play. But stop putting injured players out there that just get abused by the opposing team and hurt the entire team.

Anyway, was he hurt or something? Those were terrible snaps and it happened literally like 3 or 4 times in a row. WTF

WTF Please tell me you haven't bothered to read the entire thread where it's been brought up several times that HANGARTNER WAS PLAYING INJURED!
drnykterstein Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 Please tell me you haven't bothered to read the entire thread where it's been brought up several times that HANGARTNER WAS PLAYING INJURED! Then move the f-ing guy to somewhere else and put in another center.

Oh, that would be situational thinking -- can't have any of that around here ya know.
